QOTD: "This country doesn’t just succeed when just a few are doing well at the top. It succeeds when the middle class gets bigger. Our economy doesn’t grow from the top down -- it grows from the middle out.

We don’t believe that anybody is entitled to success in this country.

But we do believe in opportunity. We believe in a country where hard work pays off and responsibility is rewarded, and everybody is getting a fair shot and everybody is doing their fair share and everybody is playing by the same rules." --Barack Obama

STUNNING FRIGHTFUL SHOCK: Is the Editorial Staff of the New Yorker Comprised of Racist Xenophobes?



Baseless charges of racism?

Check.
And.
Mate.




Betches.


The Philosophy of Jack Reacher

Papa B serves some Lee Child.

Eat when you can because you never know when the next chance will be.

Sleep when you can so you won’t need to when you can’t.

Don’t mess with the special investigators.

Don’t own anything that doesn’t fit in your pockets.

Buy new clothes and throw old ones away rather than wash and keep them.

Carry your passport.

Think like them; feel like them; be them.

We investigate, we prepare, we execute. WE find them, we take them down and then we piss on their ancestors' graves.

The more we know, the luckier we get.

His life and his history lacked many things. He had never known stability or normality or comfort or convention. He had never counted on anything except surprise and unpredictability and danger. He took things exactly as they came, for exactly what they were.

“I don’t make plans, Karla.”

Hope for the best, plan for the worst.

“Do you ever get afraid?” “No, I get mad. Not at myself for being afraid…I got mad at the things for making me afraid.”

Back to the wall. All exits in view, if possible.

One advantage of being ex-military was almost any place was serviceable. There was always somewhere worse to compare it to.

“I like cockroaches better than those people.. they are just little packets of DNA scuttling around, doing what they have to do. Walker and his buddies didn’t have to do what they did. They had a choice. They could have been upstanding human beings. But they chose not to be…So, I’m not going to lose any sleep over it.”

He had never really lived anywhere. That was the defining feature of his life. It made him what he was.

He owed no money. He had never stolen anything, never cheated anybody. Never fathered any children. He was on as few pieces of paper as it was possible for a human being to get.

He was pretty sure he didn’t want to live in a house. The desire had just passed him by. The necessary involvement intimidated him. It was a physical weight, like the suitcase in his hand.

He had never known stability, he had never completed a year in the same school, he had never worked nine to five, Monday to Friday, he had never counted on anything at all except surprise and unpredictability.

He had developed a habit of buying new stuff instead of washing the old stuff. It defended him against carrying any kind of big valise and it defended him against learning the techniques of laundering.

One: “I have never seen a pack that stayed together after the first few heads hit the pavement.”
Two: “An unprovoked head butt is like bringing a sawed-off shotgun to a knife fight.”
Three: “Most guys who don’t check new equipment are alive, but by no means all of them.”
Four: “All you need, and nothing you don’t.”

Tom Cruise? Are you f'in kidding me?



CHART: Labor Commissar Announces Obama Created 8.4 Million Jobs in September, Unemployment Now at 0.3%

Fiction. It's not just for novels any more. Biff Spackle created today's Soviet-style jobs chart


Noel Sheppard, writing at NewsBusters, describes why today's jobs report was just as legit as a Timmah Geithner $7 bill.

....more shocking, total employment, as measured by the Household Survey, rose by 873,000 in September... the biggest one month jump since June 1983.

As such, total employment now stands at the highest level it's been since December 2008 before Obama was inaugurated.

But even more mysterious is the divergence in the two surveys done by the Labor Department.

The Household Survey showed a gain of 873,000 people employed in September - resulting in the surprise drop in the unemployment rate - while the Establishment Survey only showed a rise of 114,000.

Seriously: why not 8 million jobs added? That makes just as much sense.



TURBOTAX SHERROD BROWN: Ohio's far left Senator keeps hiking our taxes while dodging his own

According to the National Journal's rankings, Sherrod Brown was the most left wing Senator based upon his votes in 2010.


But that's not the worst of it. While voting for some of the most massive taxpayer ripoffs in history -- including Obamacare -- Brown was avoiding paying his own taxes.

Ohio Democratic U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown was more than four months delinquent in paying taxes on his Washington, D.C., apartment and had to pay a penalty and interest last week.

This was not the first time, records show.

Brown also was delinquent in 2006 and 2007 and paid penalties and interest, according to tax records from the District of Columbia.

"I was late," he said on a conference call with reporters when asked about the recent delinquency. "I misplaced the bill and I paid it as soon as I found out. I paid a penalty for being late, and it won't happen again."

When a reporter noted that it also happened five and six years ago, Brown said: "I misplaced it then. This is a small apartment. I'm not in D.C. nearly every week, I'm here when the Senate's in session, I'm here three or four nights a week. I paid the penalty. And in no way, obviously, was I avoiding taxes."

Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel -- an ex-Marine and a brilliant financial mind -- has faced an onslaught of negative advertising from Sherrod Brown and his far left cronies.

Click here to pink-slip this disgraceful hack and send him back to wherever the hell it is he came from.


SOMEONE IN SACRAMENTO NEEDS TO LAY OFF THE PEYOTE: Gas prices in Cali spike an all-time record $0.20 in one day

The working people of California have to be extremely pleased with the left-wing eco-Marxists who control their state. Sacramento's insane push towards non-existent green energy sources -- wind, solar, and unicorn farts -- seems to be working out really well... if the goal is to de-industrialize the state.

Supposedly good news for Obama in the unemployment report, but very very bad news for commuters in Los Angeles:

LOS ANGELES – The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in Los Angeles County recorded what is believed to be its largest single-day increase today, rising 19.2 cents to $4.539 — its highest amount since July 12, 2008.

The average price has increased by more than 1 cent on each of the past seven days, including 8.8 cents on Thursday and 5.8 cents on Wednesday. It is now 40.3 cents more than a week ago, 36.4 cents higher than a month ago and 71.5 cents greater than at this time last year, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.

Yesterday it was reported that prices were so high, some gas pumps are simply shutting down:

Gasoline station owners in the Los Angeles area… are beginning to shut pumps as the state’s oil refiners started rationing supplies and spot prices surged to a record.

“We’re going to start shutting pumps Friday,” Sam Krikorian, owner of Quality Auto Repair in North Hollywood, said by phone yesterday. “Gas is costing me almost $4.75 a gallon with taxes. There’s no sense in staying open. The profit margins are so low it’s not worth it.”

This is exactly why Capitalism just doesn’t work – they should keep their pumps open not for filthy dirty profit, but for their love of community!

But, hell, who needs Keystone XL, Alaska, or offshore oil anyhow?


KRUGPRESSION: Single Graphic Obliterates the Obama-Axelrod-Cutter Economic Talking Points

As Investors Business Daily puts it, President Obama's case for reelection rests on five economic claims, every single one of which is false. Every. Single. One.

QOTD: "...Mitt Romney did show up ready to be President. Obama showed up with — as — the Empty Chair. He stared at his feet. He grimaced. Occasionally a smile would flash on his face, with all the spontaneity of Bush 41′s “Message: I Care.” He was whiny, he was defensive. Worst of all? Empty Chair’s body language did just show contempt for Romney. He displayed contempt for the setting, for the requirement that he be there, and I think it even showed contempt for the office he (still) holds.

Barack Obama is tired of being President. I’m not sure he ever enjoyed it. That is what he brought to the debate last night, and that is why he lost." --Stephen Green

Debate photo reveals fatal flaw in Obama strategy

MOTUS says things might have turned out better for the president had only the chair showed up:


Or, to paraphrase Teresa, "Never bring a radical progressive to an economics fight."


OH, THE HUMANITY: Obama SuperPACs pulling ads from Florida, Wisconsin to concentrate on... Nevada

The venerable Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit drinks the sweet, sweet tears of The New York Times:

The pro-Obama super PAC Priorities USA Action pulled ads from Florida and Wisconsin this week. This seems a bit odd considering there are only a few weeks left before the election... The Caucus reported:

The pro-Obama “super PAC” that has spent millions of dollars attacking Mitt Romney in ads is pulling commercials from Florida and Wisconsin, part of what the group says is a realignment of its advertising campaign.

The cancellations by Priorities USA Action, coupled with new purchases of television time in other key swing states, indicate where Democratic strategists think the presidential race may and may not be competitive with a month left to Election Day.

President Obama was always polling strongly in Wisconsin, so the need for him to have a strong television presence advertising there was less crucial.

But Priorities, which has been pulling in more money than its pro-Romney counterpart recently and will continue to aggressively fund-raise through much of October, is also going up on the air in states where the polls are much tighter, like Nevada, which is a first.

To paraphrase the great Ricky Bobby, "Did that blow your mind, because that just happened!"

QOTD: "In 2010, even Scott Brown’s pickup truck came in for a charge of racism on MSNBC. Olbermann said that what Scott Brown voters truly opposed was having “an African-American president.”

When this insane point was met with mild resistance from Howard Fineman, Keith produced the smoking gun: “What were the Scott Brown ads, though? Every one of the Scott Brown ads had him in a pickup truck.”

I wonder if it was an “uppity” pickup truck …

As soon as the racism hunters at MSNBC come up with a final and complete list of racist code words, they should release it to the public. But it needs to be aired on a network with lots of viewers, so they better send it to Fox News." --Ann Coulter

By the beard of Zeus, CNN has beclowned itself during this election cycle

Dave forwards a note he sent to CNN about this piece of drek disguised as a news article:

There are several errors of omission and comission in this piece:


• The headline on the main page reads "Right-wing media coordinate release of old Obama video". I'm wondering: was the headline for the infamous secret Romney tape "Left-wing media coordinate release of old Romney tape"?

• The full tape had never been released. In fact, only 9 minutes of the 40 minute speech had ever been seen publicly before this story broke. There are also a variety of inflammatory remarks by Obama that had before been reported (stealing from the suburbs to give to the cities; praise for the virulent anti-semite Rev. Wright, who he had just repudiated; etc.).

I would appreciate your perspective on this obviously biased article and headline.

Dave

Don't hold your breath waiting for an answer, Dave. Unless you're being driven around Martha's Vineyard by a member of the Kennedy clan.



Mark Levin: Everyone should watch Obama's 2007 videotape: it is "an evil speech full of lies, hate, and racism"

Writing on his social media sites, attorney Mark Levin calls Barack Obama's 2007 speech "evil":

Simply put: this is an evil speech full of lies, hate, and racism.

I have never seen a president lower himself to this point. Pure demagoguery. Rather than dismiss or downplay this speech, as the big media and some foolish Republicans would have us do, everyone should watch it.

Obama is not fit, by temperament, psychology, or motive, to be leading this great nation.

We have it within our power, this November, to change course with our votes.

The city of New Orleans was not treated in some kind of discriminatory fashion. New York City and Miami are extremely diverse cities, just like New Orleans.

The federal government spent roughly $115 billion cleaning up New Orleans and surrounding areas. Does that sound like it got shortchanged?

This kind of divisive, demagogic behavior is reprehensible.

It's like we have President Sharpton in office.

America deserves better. America deserves a commander-in-chief, not a divider-in-chief.


OBAMO! It's the Official Obama Bingo Card for the #DenverDebate - Don't miss out on your chance to score in the #Debates!

From your friends at iOwnTheWorld comes this invaluable debate game:


Recommendation: don't do shots every time the President says one of these words because you will definitely suffer from alcohol poisoning and wake up, with a three-day beard, in the hold of a freighter headed for Singapore.

Is this the Hope or the Change?

Bucyrus, Ohio, is not a squalid inner-city ghetto. This is a small town about midway between Columbus and Toledo, in a county with a total population of less than 44,000, about 97 percent white. If the economic news is this bad in Bucyrus — unemployment stuck at 8 percent, one-third of children on Medicaid, 70 percent qualifying for free or reduced school lunches — how on earth can anybody be deceived into the belief that Obama’s policies are making things better for Ohio?

And if I can see this just by picking up a local paper in Ohio, how has it escaped the notice of those who control the Conventional Wisdom?" --Robert Stacy McCain

SETTING BACK RACE RELATIONS 40 YEARS: Tape Released by Daily Caller Reveals Obama Channeling Jeremiah Wright

Who is the real Barack Obama? Thanks to a tape -- long concealed by old media, it would appear -- I think we can now say with certainty. He is a divisive, hard-left ideologue who is living in the sixties.

In a video obtained exclusively by The Daily Caller, then-presidential candidate Barack Obama tells an audience of black ministers, including the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, that the U.S. government shortchanged Hurricane Katrina victims because of racism.


“The people down in New Orleans they don’t care about as much!” Obama shouts in the video, which was shot in June of 2007 at Hampton University in Virginia. By contrast, survivors of Sept. 11 and Hurricane Andrew received generous amounts of aid, Obama explains. The reason? Unlike residents of majority-black New Orleans, the federal government considers those victims “part of the American family.”

The racially charged and at times angry speech undermines Obama’s carefully-crafted image as a leader eager to build bridges between ethnic groups. For nearly 40 minutes, using an accent he almost never adopts in public, Obama describes a racist, zero-sum society, in which the white majority profits by exploiting black America. The mostly black audience shouts in agreement. The effect is closer to an Al Sharpton rally than a conventional campaign event.

I will say one thing for him: if there's a way to divide people, whether by income, race, religion, gender, ethnicity, industry, or anything else you can care to name, Obama will find it.
